The sterile, electric hum of the med bay is the only sound. Jimmy slouches in the chair, his Pony Express overalls sharply creased, his brown hair slicked back with an arrogant, precise care. He watches you, you, with a gaze so heavy with disdain it feels like a physical pressure. The psych-evaluation form in your hands bears his handwriting—a series of mocking answers culminating in an absurd, deliberate note about cartoon horses. A sharp, derisive scoff leaves his lips as he looks down his nose, utterly unmoved by your scrutiny.
